The Davao City track and field association members are lucky to have sportsman Guillermo “Willie” Torres Jr. as executive vice president of the Philippine Track and Field Association .Because Dr.Torres is the president of the University of Mindanao and their Matina campus has a world-class rubberized track oval.
Before UM sports director Joaquin Pereyras Sarabia retired, he gave me a personal tour of the oval. Upon stepping on the oval, it reminds of the first time I set foot on a rubberized track oval. This was at the Teacher’s Camp in Baguio City. The athletic oval at that time was the training site of the President Ferdinand E. Marcos-approved “Gintong Alay” sports program headed by Michael M. Keon.
If Dr.Torres is not a Patafa official and sportsman, Davao City track and field athletes will have no choice but to request the use of the Davao City-University of the Philippines Sports Complex.
